Mallikarun Kharge On Why He Is Running For Congress Chief Post

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday said he is contesting the election for the party president's post "because the condition in the country is worrisome". "The BJP is weakening autonomous bodies like the CBI, the ED and the IT department. (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi and (Union Home Minister Amit) Shah do politics in a manner that there is no place for democracy in the country. Hence, on the recommendation of the delegates, I am fighting the polls," he added.
